so i say damn your kiss and the awful things you do

*reddie*

the thick grey smoke billows out from richie's lips and the overpowering smell of cigarettes fills the air.

"chee, do you really have to smoke now? i just had a shower and now im gonna smell of cigarettes." eddie sighs mournfully.

"i didn't ask you to hang out with me, eds, it's your own fault." richie replies with a deep breath.

"ugh, fine i won't hang out with you then. bye, rich." eddie walks away, tearing up.

richie takes a breath and puts his cigarette at his side. he runs after eddie, and grabs his wrist.

"look, im sorry, ill try to stop." richie sighs.

"you say that every time, rich. and you still haven't. it's been at least two years since you said you'd stop at first." eddie keeps looking away and tries to get his hand out of richie's grip, but to no avail.

"it's hard eddie. kicking an addiction is hard." he replies.

"you never should've got addicted in the first place! you're such an idiot!" eddie yells, turning around to face him.

"im an idiot? you're the one who can't see that all the pills you take are placebos."

"what? what are on about? gazebos?" he yells back.

"they don't do shit, eddie! those fucking pills don't do anything!" richie shouts right in eddie's face. he walks away, stubbing his cigarette out on the ground.

"wait, rich, where are you going?" eddie follows richie as he storms off.

"im leaving. i don't know where to but anywhere away from you. i can't stand to be near you anymore." richie speeds up and runs off around the corner.

eddie collapses onto the floor and starts sobbing. his chest aches with yearning and his hands shake like they'll never stop. his throat itches and he screams at the top of his voice. he screams louder than he's ever screamed before. he screams until his throat hurts as much as his heart. he blinks up at the starry sky with his tearful eyes and laughs. his eyes well up again and he starts crying again until he has no tears left to cry.

"god, i always wanted to sit under the stars with rich. maybe we'd finally be peaceful." eddie whispers with his broken voice.

"eds? are you okay?" richie comes back around the corner and kneels down next to him.

"oh, sorry, i thought you couldn't bear to be near me anymore." eddie chokes out.

"that was stupid of me." richie puts his hands on eddie's cheeks and smiles. "i should never have said that. i should just tell you the truth."

"the truth?" eddie looks up with tearful eyes and sniffs.

"i-i really like you eds." he says wiping the tears off eddie's face.

"how do you mean?" he replies in a whisper, putting his hands on top of richie's.

"i mean... id like to date you, eddie." richie smiles and prompts eddie to do the same. "what do you think?"

"id love that, rich."
